I’m craving Kraken hockey! Can’t wait to see what’s in store for this season and there’s no better way to spend it with the ECH community. Can’t wait!!!
Pizza Hut is disgusting. I love it. Ideally I'd have it once a week, but it isn't food.
I’m watching old games from last year and can’t wait to see some magic this season from the new guys. Cannot wait.
Adam Larsson puts stoicism above flash, unlike the try hard Cale Makar.
Talking about national chains on a Seattle hockey podcast is a bit weird because I feel the municipal default is Pagliacci.
National chain pizza is garbage 🤢🤮
Congrats on 3k Subs guys! The best hockey podcast duo out there! Keep it going 🙂
What I remember from that first home game was some Kraken fan deciding it was a bright idea to chirp Conor Garland …
I’m having kraken withdrawals I miss watching live games then coming to you guys as the ECH Community comes together with our analysis and most of the time frustrating loses, I’m totally looking forward to a much better season 2 with at the very least that we compete for a playoff spot
So, the Oct 23rd Kraken game is an away game, it's not a doubleheader with the Firebirds…
The Gru Avs moment shouldn't be a surprise to any native Mossybacks (local born & raised in mid 1980s & earlier)… Most of us grew up not long after many of our pro teams came into existence, the long lean times where everyone else viewed us as being Siberia/close to AK ans not wanting to come/remain here. So really embraced the few home grown stars & "our guys" that stuck around a while, gave us something to hold onto getting through the many difficult times. We embraced our players & teams, as they always seemed to continue to fight, and definitely have a significant dislike & blame for the several ownerships, GMs, etc that would send "our guys" players, coaches, etc away via trades mostly (or refusal to pay even a bit less than fair market value like with Kemp) especially when committed a significant portion of time here but folks running things wouldn't put/keep things together to actually go win, more concerned with bottom line profits (and sale value of team)… For some time there, it felt like every other year 1 of our teams was being heavily rumored/leaked was for sale and would be sold to new owners who would almost definitely move the team (mostly to California locations) they'd often use as leverage for better deals with Gov't, stadium stuff, etc (and of course the infamous Starbucks D bag lying his butt off selling the Sonics and having them stolen from right out underneath us the year after we'd finally gotten another young star & something to be hopeful about for 1st time in a long while in Kevin Durant). Plus the effects of the massive East Coast & National bias that had tangible objective negative effects on rosters & actual games, especially Playoff games that cost us dearly as teams & fans (like Sonics Vs Spurs & that lil b|tch Genobli series, Sonics Vs Bulls series, a couple of Ms Vs NYY series, Seahawks Vs Stealers in Super Bowl 40 theft, etc). Plus we've never had the big city scene & vibe here (at least not until the later 2000s/earlier 2010s), all we had was the outdoors, the arts and our sports teams. Really kinda our own Emerald jewel of a paradise that started to change & get ruined by all the transplants that started showing up in the mid/late 1990s onwards (especially from California) that's essentially destroyed almost everything that was truly special & unique about Puget Sound & Seattle area before that…. But not the hearty, passionate, all in for teams & players that continue to battle & embrace the area fan base.
Myself, I basically spent ¼-⅓ of my youth at the Colosseum (Key/fake ass pledge Arena), The Kingdome & Mercer Arena mainly (some at Seahawks Stadium complex, M's baseball field stadium, Husky Stadium, etc) as my father was an SPD LEO/Detective for 40+ years and would take me with him to a lot of the events he was working as off duty security for, as well as other family members having season or multi game tix packages for different teams around here… Allowing me to meet & interact with so many sports/local stars, experience so many sports moments, go & be in so many areas the general public wasn't usually allowed, heck even my HS graduation was 2nd to last event ever held at the Kingdome and got to go exploring the whole baseball field, locker rooms, etc and a couple months later was down there in person to watch the implosion of it (and what a mess that was, concrete & other dust/debris coating everything like a couple inches of snow. Being higher up in office building near by to watch, watching the cloud of debris go racing out & overtaking a crowd of people on a rooftop in front of us, disappearing in the mess like an avalanche), and also wondering around the new baseball & football stadiums as they were being built (father also worked as required safety cop & as off duty security).
The native Mossyback sports culture is just as much part of our natural essence as is the music, natural environment and the yearly 9.5 months of the Big Gloomy Grey many non natives have very difficult time handling well for more than a year or 2 (very similar to difficult & different dating scene, about as many people move BC of that as they do the gloomy grey lol)
The number works!
When the Kraken scored to make the Colorado game 7-1 , the Avs fans AND players looked around like W T F is going on here as they played the Let's Go Kraken song. Loudest the arena was all year and very impressive. I'll never forgot it
